Trump Vows to Overturn ‘Ridiculous’ Gender-Neutral Language for Navy SEALs
President Donald Trump on Thursday vowed to get rid of new U.S. Navy gender-neutral language to be included in elite SEAL training guidelines, calling them “ridiculous.”
The president, who announced Friday that both he and first lady Melania Trump have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus, was responding to changes in the Navy SEAL ethos and Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewman (SWCC) creed.
The changes were designed to ditch male-centric terms like “brotherhood” in response to U.S. law that now allows women to apply for and serve in elite and previously male-only military roles. . .
I will be overturning this ridiculous order immediately! https://t.co/sFIX5Y667v

Navy officials have couched the decision to change the ethos on making SEAL training more inclusive.
“Naval Special Warfare continues to deliberately develop a culture of tactical and ethical excellence that reflects the nation we represent, and that draws upon the talents of the all-volunteer force who meet the standards of qualification as a SEAL or SWCC,” Lt. Cmdr. Matthew Stroup, a spokesman for Naval Special Warfare told American Military News. (Read more from “Trump Vows to Overturn ‘Ridiculous’ Gender-Neutral Language for Navy SEALs” HERE)
